Galatasaray produced a dominant second-half display to overturn Juventus’ brief lead.

Osimhen was pivotal in the comeback, providing assists for Noah Lang and Sacha Boey, helping stretch Juventus’ defence and secure the memorable win.

The Turkish champions had opened the scoring through Gabriel Sara in the 15th minute, but two goals from Teun Koopmeiners briefly shifted momentum to Juventus.

After the break, Noah Lang restored parity and Davidson Sanchez put Galatasaray ahead, while Juan Cuadrado’s 67th-minute sending-off left the visitors with ten men.

During celebrations, Osimhen’s exuberance resulted in accidental damage to part of the stadium ceiling.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, with fans sharing humorous reactions.

The 27-year-old striker apologised directly on social media under the celebratory video, writing: “Sorry for breaking the ceiling 😭💛❤️😂.” Fans praised his humility and passion for the club.

Osimhen has been instrumental since joining Galatasaray from Napoli in 2024, leading the team to a Super Lig and Turkish Cup double last season while finishing as top scorer and earning Most Valuable Player honours.

Attention now turns to the second leg in Turin next Wednesday, where Juventus will attempt to overturn the three-goal deficit.
